I will say, Mr. President, that my colleague from Pennsylvania did such a good job that there is little left to say. I was fumbling because I was just confused on what I would say, and I will be honest with you that there is just not much to say. If I were to reinforce a couple of points that the Senator did not cover, they would be that at our last Finance hearing, which lasted--I thought it was 12 hours; it was 23 hours--we had our friends on the other side offer 63 amendments. To say that they are not engaged in the process is to forget the 63 amendments offered over 23 hours. Senator Toomey did such a good job that I am just going to sit back down.
